Author: Bloody FM October 25, 2024 Duration: 2:08:56
The Losers turn the clock back half a century and return to Castle Rock for Stephen King and Richard Chizmar's 2017 collaboration Gwendy's Button Box. Together, they discuss the timeline of the book, the implications of the titular box, and the ways it may or may not dovetail with what we know of Mid-World. It'll take longer for you to finish this episode than to finish this book.

For anyone who’s ever gotten lost in the sprawling, interconnected universe of Stephen King, there’s a dedicated and surprisingly fun guide waiting for you. That guide is The Losers' Club: A Stephen King Podcast, an award-winning weekly series from Bloody FM. Since 2017, this podcast has served as a chronological deep-dive into King’s entire bibliography, from Carrie to the latest release. But it’s far from a dry literary analysis. The hosts-the self-proclaimed Losers-approach each book, film, and adaptation with a blend of genuine critical insight and warm, irreverent humor. They’re the kind of fans who can passionately debate the themes of The Dark Tower while also laughing about the author’s famously unpredictable Twitter presence. When you listen, you’re essentially pulling up a chair to a lively, informed conversation among friends who love this world as much as you do. Episodes regularly feature deep discussions that read between the iconic pages, but they also keep you updated on everything happening in King’s Dominion. That means breaking down the latest Hollywood headlines about adaptations, parsing through his endless forthcoming projects, and examining how his vast body of work intersects with broader arts, film, television, and even history. It’s a comprehensive and consistently engaging resource for both the Constant Reader and the newly curious, making the immense landscape of King’s imagination feel a little more like home. This podcast has built a community around a shared obsession, one detailed and delightful episode at a time.
